Work was needed to recover the disused railway path from overgrowth

CIÉ agreed to divest the Tralee - Fenit and North Kerry railways to Kerry County Council in 2017.[3][4] in order to facilitate the completion of the Kerry Greenways and the development of the remainder of the route commenced, it is due for completion in early 2022[5][6] New underpasses will be created for the greenway.[7]

As the Tralee - Fenit and Tralee - Limerick railways shared the same rail-bed out of Tralee,[4] the first 3km of the Tralee Fenit Greenway also forms part of the Great Southern Trail and EuroVelo EV1.[8][9]
